Response of the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata to host and host-habitat volatile cues
(Wiley, 2012-05)
Chemical information is crucial to insect parasitoids for successful host location. Here, we evaluated the innate response of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a fruit fly larval parasitoid, ...
Response of the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata to host and host‐habitat volatile cues
(Wiley, 2012-05)
Chemical information is crucial to insect parasitoids for successful host location. Here, we evaluated the innate response of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a fruit fly larval parasitoid, ...
Using visual cues of microhabitat traits to find home: the case study of a bromeliad-living jumping spider (Salticidae)
(Oxford University Press, 2010-07-01)
There are many examples of predators having specialized microhabitat requirements, but the sensory mechanisms by which predators detect, identify, and evaluate microhabitats are only poorly understood. The ability to use ...

Role of visual information and learning in habitat selection by a generalist parasitoid foraging for concealed hosts
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2007-07)
Generalist species usually have to deal with a larger variety of cues during habitat selection than do specialists, and thus, learning has been proposed as a highly profitable strategy to find the most suitable habitat. ...
The Role of Males in Host-Fruit Selection by Females of a Walnut Infesting Tephritid (Diptera) Rhagoletis zoqui
(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2016-01)
Rhagoletis zoqui Bush flies have a mating system in which males guard and defend walnut fruit-hosts from other males and mate, apparently without courtship, with females as they arrive to oviposit. Hypothetically, female ...
Innate Host Habitat Preference in the Parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata: Functional Significance and Modifications through Learning
(2016)
Parasitoids searching for polyphagous herbivores can find their hosts in a variety of habitats.
Under this scenario, chemical cues from the host habitat (not related to the host) represent
poor indicators of host location. ...
